‘Bowlers win you matches and tournaments’: Gautam Gambhir ahead of India vs New Zealand Test

Live Mint  

Gautam Gambhir has highlighted the importance of bowlers in cricket. India’s head coach has urged the need to shift away from the "batter-obsessed" mindset as the team prepared for the opening Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru. According to Gambhir, over the past decade, bowlers have increasingly taken the spotlight in Test cricket, a format in which batters traditionally dominate by spending long hours at the crease. But if a bowler takes 20 wickets, then there is a 99% guarantee that we will win the Test match," ANI quoted Gambhir as saying in a press conference on October 14. Test matches in the past Gambhir reflected that, in the past, particularly from the 1950s to 1990s, matches often ended in draws even when batters stayed at the crease for long periods.
